The Result in the Sth.

Where two such brilliant and tai
ented young lawyers as a. H. Lon
gino2and II. 5. McLaurin were can
didates for the same office-both pos
sessing so many admirable qualities
of head and heart and social DISPOSE
ton, and Nithal SO worthy in every
respect-one can but regret that both
could not be elected. This could
not be, however, and in the contest
for the District Atterneyship i'll the
Sth Judicial District, where there
were four competitors, McLaurln
was the successful one, coming out
469 ahead of LonginO, who was second
in the race.
Mr.. Longino, whose hundreds ofper-
sonal friends naturally wanted to
see him succeed, takes his defeat
gracefully, and has the satisfaction
while not being victorious, of having
made splendid canvass and won
hundreds of admirers among strangers
who will ever hold him in grateful
memory for his acknowledged ability
and manly bearing.
eyes" McLaurin, the victor in the
hard run race, is one of eight
brothers, all lawyers and among the
truest men and fastest friends the
State can claim. He is the law part
ner of his brother 4. }. McLaurin, the
justly ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS lawyer, and
possesses all the qualities of an able
and fearless States attorney, and will
most worthily wear the mantle of Hud-
dleston, A. j. McLaurin and other dis
tinguished predecessors.

MONTICELLO, Mss, Nov. IA, 1887.
Jake wylie the deputy sheriff, is
usually a sedate kind of a fellow, but
he came into town the other day with
a broad smile encircling his counte-
nance, and he was heard to say in q
sort of absen minded way, sits

We have a splendid Sunday School,
and it is well attended by old and
young. Billie Byrne is especially
punctual, but he has missed time or
two now. We learn it's boy.
The election is over, and several of
the "boys got left" Mr.. Longino is
with us again, but he would never be
judged as a defeated candidate; he
discovers no morOseness and is as jo-
vial as ever.
Lee Sutton, Mr.. Sharpe's ferryman
and one of our substantial colOred citi-
zens, had the misfortune to get burnt
out last Saturday, having saved moth
ing but one bed, trunk and a clock.
The fire originated accidentally. The
white citizens of Monticello, in few
minutes, raised several dollars in cash
to relieve his distress.
The farmers are about through with
gathering their crops and are now ma
king molasses, and the excitement ac-
companying this work echoes the
words, "let joy be uncOnfined." Moth
ing short of hog-killing time seems to
equal it.

How to be Thankful.

The suggestion made few year.
ago that the children in the Protestan,
Orphan Asylum at Natchez be remem.
bered on Thanksgiving Day, has been
80 kindly received and acted upon by
pastors and the people generally, the
undersigned ventures to request that
the same very worthy object be re.
membered In all Protestant churches
where thanksgiving services may be
held on the oath inst, and If no such
services are held, then in the several
churches on some Sabbath following
Sabbath Schools are also requested to
make an annual contribution to the
Asylum. President Cleveland and
Governor Lowry, in their proclama.
tons, make special reference to the
poor, the unfortunate and the needy
and it is believed that many who as,
semble for worship on Thanksgiving
Day, will esteem it privilege to con.
tribute to the relief of their necessi-
ties. There are upwards of fifty chill
dren now in the Asylum-mostly lit
tie girls. The Asylum has no income
except the contributions of the char.
tably disposed. A generous response
to this suggestion will carry the Asy-
lum through the winter months, until
the Masonic Grand Lodge will make
its annual appropriation of FIVE hun
bred dollars.

money, supplies or clothing, to Mrs.

To Our Subscribers.

The time has now come for us TO
collect what isdue us for subscriptions.
During the summer, while money was
scarce, we presented no bills and on
ly collected what voluntarily came in,
hut now that the dull season is over,
and our own bills falling due, we can
not grant further indulgence. The
purchase of new type and the convert
ing of our paper into an all-home print
has also increased our expenses and
these must be met. We therefore
hope our patrons will appreciate these
facts and come forward and settle.
In few days we will begin to send
ont accounts, but where patrons know
they are indebted to us, we hope they
will not wait for personal dun, but
come forward and pay up without it.

The Governors County Elects
A Republican Negro to the
Legislature.

Rankin, the home county of the
Governor and his great and faithful
bugler, Col. Frantzy, has elected an
avOwed colored Republican to the
Legislature. The Democratic party
in that county is sadly disorganized,
there being two factions there, each
placing the responsibility of the pres
ent condition of things at the door
of the other faction. The "Number
2" faction control the Executive Com
mittee. and the "Number Is" say that
a primary or convention should have
been held and candidates nominated
to all the offices. The "Number 2s'
say that had the State Board of Elec-
ton Commissioners not ignored the
recommendation of the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee in the appointment
of County Election commissioners,
that the negroes would not have taken
any interest in the election or brought
out any candidates; that the appoint
ment of an avowed colored Republican
by the Governor as one of the Election
Commissioners is what gave the col
ored brother an idea of taking hand
in the game.
